Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Bread (sourdough or whole grain)
- 2 slices Ham (thinly sliced)
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 tablespoon Chives (fresh)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Place the eggs in a small pot and cover them with cold water. Heat the pot over medium-high heat and bring the water to a boil.
Once the water boils, reduce the heat to low and simmer the eggs for 8 minutes for a firm yolk.
While the eggs boil, lightly toast the slices of bread to your preferred level of crispiness.
Spread butter evenly across the toasted bread slices while still warm.
Drain the eggs and transfer them to an ice bath to cool for 2 minutes. Peel the eggs and slice them into rounds.
Place one slice of ham on each piece of buttered toast, allowing the edges of the ham to slightly overhang.
Arrange the boiled egg slices on top of the ham, dividing them evenly between the two pieces of toast.
Sprinkle the eggs with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Finely chop the fresh chives and scatter them generously over the top of the sandwiches.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delightful open-faced sandwich!
